    I LOVE this kinda stuff! Can't wait to try all of 'em, esp. crescent rolls over campfire & mountain dew lantern. Just think how much fun the kids would have with this.
    Thanks, Hunter!

    This is a real old idea.....MF did in the car or truck.....

    In my "Service guy days", came across a couple of "older guys"....that carried a 3# coffee can in the truck.
    Roll of T.P. and about 1/2 full of sawdust.......
    When asked....sometimes having something to use in your truck...or up on a roof..... is important..if ya get my drift.

    I carry a can (plastic) and TP in the trucks, have for a lot for years.

    Good stuff, Hunter. Except the trailer hitch hammock was a problem. When I sat down in it the truck pulled a wheeley and I was sitting on the ground. Not funny.

    I used to use a pipe on the hitch on the bumper of my '54 Chevy to hold up one end of a "jungle hammock", that used to be available surplus from ads on the back cover of Popular Mechanics magazine.......pull up to a tree...tie up one end, put pipe in holder, tie up other end or hammock....pull car ahead till the proper tightness was reached........

    Yeah, I think Ken did a review/try out....on this....and was a fail......Oh well

    If any of y'all read the "comments" on this posting.....I had a hard time believing how many people, couldn't wait to pick it apart, bash ideas, make stupid comments....like "why make a lantern, when you can buy one at Walmart........."......etc.

    So I guess the 1/2 full vs 1/2 empty crowds are still active........lots of bored, grumpy, nasty people that can't wait to trash.....Then you have the ....Hey cool, might be a good creative idea.........LOL........Sort of like life.
